Events & Health Education
Throughout the year at The Village at Victory Lakes, many different
special events are offered to the residents, as well as to those residing
outside the community. One week might feature a senior exercise program
and the next might feature a guest speaker sharing his or her expertise
regarding hip and knee replacement. Then, later in the month, there
might be a holiday barbeque with live music, a choir performance
in the chapel or any of the the other countless other fun, relaxing
and educational events that are regularly scheduled at The Village
at Victory Lakes.
In addition, we believe that seniors can benefit greatly by learning
more about the benefits of exercise, positive aging and other health-related
matters. That's why we will use this valuable space to share important
health education with you.
